Unit 2English around the world第一課時
warming up
第一步:合上書本,要求學生說出對英語有多少了解(how much do you know about the english language?)讓學生自由回答(it is the official language of many countries and the un; it is learned by people in many non-english speaking countries; etc. answers may vary);
第二步:向學生介紹世界上兩種主要的英語:voa(voice of america)英語和bbc(british broadcasting corporation)英語, 如有足夠的資料,可以播放兩段錄音,讓學生比較這兩種英語在語音上的區別,例如hot, not, dance, answer 等;
第三步:引入英式英語和美式英語在詞匯上的區別,除了課本里提到的例子,向學生提供更多英式英語的單詞讓學生說出相對應的美式英語單詞;
例如:film, autumn, rubber, tyre, theatre, colour, ...
( movie, fall, eraser, tire, theater, color ...)
第四步: 可提前向學生介紹第12頁的 activities 4 and 5. 先讓學生獨立完成習題4,然后核對答案。至于習題5,則讓學生聽錄音跟讀,讓學生體會英式英語和美式英語在詞匯上的不同,并注意重音和語調。

第一步:讓學生說出他們知道的說英文國家名( how many english-speaking countries can you think of ?), 老師可以適當補充一些學生不太熟悉的國家名字,例如 jamaica, philippines, pakistan, bangladesh, new zealand, palestine, parts of sub-sahara;
第二步:學生分組討論:do you know the reasons why english is spoken by so many people in so many different countries? 適當給學生一些提示詞語:trade, tourism, internet website, official language of un, entertainment, etc;
